Description

Verfahren zur Oxydation der Oberfläche kristalliner Selenschichten von Selengleichrichterplatten Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Selengleichrichtern, bei dem vor dem Aufbringen einer thalliumfreien Elektrode die kristalline Selenoberfläche oxydiert wird.Process for the oxidation of the surface of crystalline selenium layers of selenium rectifier plates The invention relates to a method of manufacture of selenium rectifiers, in which before applying a thallium-free electrode the crystalline selenium surface is oxidized.

Gleichrichter, die aus einer auf eine Trägerplatte aufgebrachten Selenschicht bestehen, zeigen ein günstiges Sperrverhalten, wenn die kristallisierte Selenoberfläche vor dem Aufbringen der Gegenelektrode mit einer dünnen Selendioxydschicht überzogen wird.Rectifiers made from a selenium layer applied to a carrier plate exist, show a favorable barrier behavior when the crystallized selenium surface coated with a thin layer of selenium dioxide before applying the counter electrode will.

Zu diesem Zweck hat man bereits vorgeschlagen, diese Selendioxydschicht durch Aufsublimieren von Selendioxyd zu erzeugen. Das hierbei aus der Dampfphase niedergeschlagene Selendioxyd bedeckt die Selenoberfläche jedoch nicht lückenlos. An einzelnen Punkten bilden sich bevorzugt nadelförmige Kristalle, und die dazwischenliegende Selenoberfläche bleibt unbedeckt.This selenium dioxide layer has already been proposed for this purpose to produce by subliming selenium dioxide. This from the vapor phase However, precipitated selenium dioxide does not completely cover the selenium surface. Needle-shaped crystals form preferentially at individual points, and those in between The selenium surface remains uncovered.

Es ist ferner vorgeschlagen worden, bei Selengleichrichtern, deren Deckelektrode Thallium enthält, die durch diesen Zusatz bedingten Alterungserscheinungen dadurch zu vermeiden, daB dem Selen ein Stoff zugefügt wird, der das Thallium ganz oder teilweise chemisch bindet. Diesem Zweck kann beispielsweise Selendioxyd dienen. An Stelle dem Selen das Selendioxyd zuzusetzen, kann dieses auch durch ein Oxydationsmittel, wie z. B. Stickstoffdioxyd, auf der Selenoberfläche erzeugt werden.It has also been proposed, in selenium rectifiers, their Cover electrode contains thallium, the aging effects caused by this additive by adding a substance to the selenium that would completely remove the thallium or partially chemically binds. Selenium dioxide, for example, can serve this purpose. Instead of adding selenium dioxide, this can also be done by an oxidizing agent, such as B. nitrogen dioxide, are generated on the selenium surface.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich, wie schon oben angegeben, auf Selengleichrichter mit thalliumfreier Elektrode und dient deshalb nicht zur Beseitigung von Alterungserscheinungen infolge eines solchen Thalliumzusatzes, sondern zur Verbesserung anderer Eigenschaften der Gleichrichterplatte.As already indicated above, the invention relates to selenium rectifiers with a thallium-free electrode and is therefore not used to remove Signs of aging as a result of such an addition of thallium, but to improve other properties the rectifier plate.

Die Erfindung selbst besteht darin, daß die Oxydation in einer stickstoffdioxydhaltigen Atmosphäre vorgenommen wird.The invention itself consists in the fact that the oxidation in a nitrogen dioxide-containing Atmosphere is made.

Durch das Verfahren nach der Erfindung wird die oberste Schicht des Selens unter der Sauerstoffeinwirkung in Selendioxyd verwandelt. Es bildet sich auf der Selenoberfläche eine genau dosierbare, lückenlose Schicht Selendioxyd. Die Stärke der Schicht hängt von der Intensität und der Dauer der Oxydation ab. Vorteilhaft verwendet man eine Konzentration unter I mg Stickstoffdioxyd pro cm3, insbesondere eine Konzentration von etwa o,I mg/cm3. Die Verweilzeit in dieser Atmosphäre beträgt einige Minuten, sie muß durch Versuche einmal festgelegt werden. Die Stickstoffdioxydkonzentration kann durch kolorimetrische oder andere bekannte Meßverfahren kontrolliert werden.By the method according to the invention, the top layer of the Selenium is transformed into selenium dioxide under the action of oxygen. It forms on the selenium surface a precisely metered, gapless layer of selenium dioxide. the The thickness of the layer depends on the intensity and duration of the oxidation. Advantageous a concentration below 1 mg nitrogen dioxide per cm3 is used, in particular a concentration of about 0.1 mg / cm3. The residence time in this atmosphere is a few minutes, it must be determined once by experiment. The nitrogen dioxide concentration can be controlled by colorimetric or other known measuring methods.

Nach der Erfindung oxydierte Selenscheiben erfordern im Vergleich zu Scheiben, deren Selendioxyd schicht aufsublimiert wurde, nur die halbe Zeit zur elektrischen Formierung. Ferner ist der während der Sperrzeit auftretende Rückstrom nur halb so groß wie bei den nach dem bisherigen Verfahren hergestellten Scheiben.Selenium disks oxidized according to the invention require comparison to panes with a layer of selenium dioxide that has been sublimed on, only half the time electrical formation. Furthermore, the reverse current occurring during the blocking time is only half the size of the panes produced using the previous method.
